2010 Pinhole, Zone Plate, Camera Obscura Workshop, Cabrillo Arts, Santa Cruz, CA
July 19 — July 30, 2010
with Nancy Spencer and Eric Renner
Transcend photography through the pinhole and zone plate. In this fun workshop we’ll make images with our on film-based and digital cameras or cameras built in the class. We’ll also build a large camera obscura, and emerge with an enhanced understanding of how these cameras work. Our images will be made using both traditional chemical and digital techniques. Each day we’ll spend time crusing Santa Cruz, photographing, and working toward an expressive personal portfolio of work. No previous experience is necessary.
